Apparatus, System and Method for Concealed Venting Thermal Solution

1. An apparatus, comprising: an enclosure arranged around one or more heat generating components, the enclosure including a first side and a second side, the second side tapering in thickness relative to the first side; a duct arranged around a portion of an internal perimeter of the enclosure; a seam inlet arranged around a portion of an external perimeter of the enclosure to allow an airflow to enter the duct; and one or more air movers to draw the airflow into the duct through the seam inlet.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the seam inlet circumnavigates the external perimeter of the enclosure and the duct circumnavigates the internal perimeter of the enclosure.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the duct is arranged to direct the airflow into the enclosure to cool the one or more heat generating components.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the seam inlet is substantially hidden in a natural bend or break in the industrial design of the enclosure.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the enclosure comprises a top portion and a bottom portion and the seam inlet is arranged as an opening between the top portion and the bottom portion.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the seam inlet comprises a contiguous ½ mm to 2 mm opening around at least a portion of the external perimeter of the enclosure.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the duct is arranged to substantially isolate the one or more heat generating components inside the enclosure.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , comprising: a digital display coupled to the enclosure.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the seam inlet comprises an acoustic outlet for the apparatus.

10. A system, comprising: a computing device including an enclosure having a first side and a second side, the second side tapering in thickness relative to the first side, the enclosure defining an interior containing at least one heat generating component; a duct arranged around a portion of a perimeter of the enclosure; and a seam inlet arranged around a portion of an external perimeter of the enclosure, wherein the enclosure comprises a top portion and a bottom portion, wherein the seam inlet is arranged as an opening between the top portion and the bottom portion, and wherein the top portion has a larger outside diameter than the bottom portion and the seam inlet is arranged on a tapered connection between the top portion and the bottom portion.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the seam inlet circumnavigates the external perimeter of the enclosure and the duct circumnavigates the perimeter of the interior of the enclosure.

12. The system of claim 10 , further comprising one or more air movers arranged to draw an airflow into the duct through the seam inlet to cool the one or more heat generating components.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the seam inlet comprises a contiguous ½ mm to 2 mm opening around at least a portion of the external perimeter of the enclosure.

14. A method, comprising: drawing an airflow exclusively through a seam inlet arranged around a portion of an external perimeter of an enclosure into a duct arranged around a portion of an internal perimeter of the enclosure; cooling one or more heat generating components included inside the enclosure using the airflow; and drawing the airflow using one or more air movers arranged to generate positive pressure inside the enclosure.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the seam inlet circumnavigates the external perimeter of the enclosure and the duct circumnavigates the perimeter of the interior of the enclosure.

16. The method of claim 14 , the enclosure having a top portion and a bottom portion, wherein the seam inlet is arranged as an opening or gap between the top portion and the bottom portion.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the top portion has a larger outside perimeter than the bottom portion and the seam inlet is arranged on a tapered connection between the top portion and the bottom portion.

18. The method of claim 14 , wherein the seam inlet comprises a contiguous ½ mm to 2 mm opening around at least a portion of the external perimeter of the enclosure.
